[jordanwhite19]

These 2 faults were picked up and says it could be a slipped timing chain car is a 2004 model with 108 thousand miles got the faults removed but light is now back on and it doesnt feel like itd engaging in vtec whats everyones thoughts? I managed to pick up a full timing chain kit brand new sealed tensioners the lot for £40 so its going to get done anyway just hope thats all

It will probably be in limp mode hence no VTEC. I wouldn't go revving it around too much either as it could slip another few teeth and if it does that it will be your valve train that you are replacing too.

Only fit a genuine Honda timing chain and tensioner too. Cheap "OEM equivalent" ones stretch and snap very easily then you are back where you started plus see above.

Yep, get it to the garage asap. As Loxy said, don't skimp on this, it's absolutely not worth the risk.

Price of a genuine chain is not that much and considering how big of a job it is to change and the risks associated with a chain snapping, its really not an area you want to get cheap parts on.

Yeah I know I think it is a genuine honda one guy was just wanting rid of it because he has a nissan navara now and was just sitting in garage
